Abstract:
A cloud based system for vehicle maintenance to a target vehicle includes a cloud based on-site vehicle maintenance service. A GPS-based proximity module in a first server associated with the on-site vehicle maintenance service receives both current GPS coordinates of a service vehicle associated with a first maintenance and service provider and current GPS coordinates of the target vehicle of a customer. The current GPS coordinates are used for at least one maintenance and service delivery session with the target vehicle of the customer. The vehicle maintenance and service operation includes 1) directing the service vehicle to the target vehicle of the customer, 2) opening and/or unlocking the target vehicle of the customer, 3) ensuring the one or more vehicle maintenance and service jobs have been performed, and 4) ensuring the target vehicle of the customer is closed and locked.
Abstract:
A method to learn and then pair with a pre-installed access control system of a vehicle is discussed. Communication is exchanged between the access control system and a backend cloud-based system. Required data of the access control system including its particular authentication code is extracted by a learning device. A vehicle matching data is sent to the backend cloud-based system and the vehicle is registered with the backend cloud-based system. The learning device is registered to the access control system in accordance with learning procedures implemented in the vehicle as remote entry key. The learning device is coupled to a Radio Frequency signal transmitter that has Application-Specific Integrated Circuits to generate stable RF signals at multiple frequency wavelengths. Registration of learning device includes, receiving a first access control telegram message, transmitting the first access control telegram message to the access control system, pairing the learning device with the access control system.
Abstract:
Interpretive meta-instructions are used, at a connected vehicle access system (CVAS) device, to implement various RKE protocols by: receiving an RKE- protocol-specific meta-instruction that has been generated by a back-end server; generating an RKE] telegram based on the RKE-protocol-speciiic meta- instruction; and transmitting the RKE telegram to a vehicle. The meta- instruction may include: a device configuration that specifies a set of RF parameters of a CVAS -device transceiver; a template telegram that contains a first set of data fields with data values from the back-end server and that contains a second set of data fields for which data values will be generated and inserted at the CVAS device; and localization-processing commands containing instructions for modifying the second set of data fields of the template telegram.
Abstract:
An access and start authorization system comprises: a transceiver-and-code-generator module that is configured to be installed in a vehicle, wherein the transceiver-and-code-generator module includes: a Bluetooth transceiver configured to establish a Bluetooth connection with a smartphone; a code generator that is configured to: communicate a secret key to one or more vehicle electronic control units while learning the code generator to the vehicle, subsequently use the secret key to encrypt communications between the code generator and the vehicle, and not store in code-generator memory the secret key in unencrypted form thereby preventing unauthorized access, via the code generator, to the secret key by a person who has access to the vehicle.
Abstract:
A smartphone having: a configurable radio frequency transmitter; a configurable low frequency transponder with at least one low frequency coil; and a smartphone application program that is controlled by a cloud service and that is configured to configure the radio frequency transmitter and the low frequency transponder with protocol parameters and initial data values such that the low frequency transponder mimics a virgin key device that can be programmed to a particular vehicle model.
